The 2026 Scout 288 LXF is a 28-foot center console built around dual Mercury 300XL Verado V8 engines with Joystick Piloting. The fiberglass hull comes finished in Midnight Blue with a full-color upgrade, paired with a Bianca interior. The boat's open layout suits both serious fishing and cruising, with hard-top mounted rocket launchers and bow rod and cup holders for tackle storage.
Electronics and entertainment anchor the helm. A Garmin 9224 display manages navigation, paired with a GT12M transducer. A deluxe stereo system includes eight 7.7-inch speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer, and two JL amplifiers, with phone-to-Garmin connectivity via HDMI. The boat carries standard amenities including a diaphragm overboard discharge waste pump and the Premium Experience package.
